[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In an effort to increase booster uptake, the CDC sent a Health Advisory to medical providers last week, which included a conversation guide to use with patients when discussing vaccines. https://www.cdc.gov/respiratory-viruses/tools-resources/downloads/HCP-conversation-guide-508.pdf

The CDC said providers should “make a strong recommendation” by saying: “You are due for your flu and COVID-19 vaccines today. I’ve gotten these vaccines myself and recommend them for you too.” The CDC is also encouraging providers to “[b]Use motivational interviewing when patients are hesitant or resistant to a strong recommendation[/b]” with regards to vaccines, with links provided for resources compiled by the American Psychological Association (APA).   https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/covid-19/hcp/engaging-patients.html

The APA defines motivational interviewing as “a client-centered yet directive approach for facilitating change by helping people to resolve ambivalence and find intrinsic reasons for making needed behavior change. Originally designed for people with substance use disorders, motivational interviewing is now broadly applied in health care, psychotherapy, correctional, and counseling settings.” https://dictionary.apa.org/motivational-interviewing[/quote]
